Supreme Court overrules A’court, upholds Mutfwang as Plateau governor

The Supreme Court has overruled the judgment of the Court of Appeal sacking Governor Caleb Mutfwang of Plateau State.

The court, in a judgment on Friday, upheld the appeal filed by Muftwang on the ground that it was meritorious.

Justice Emmanuel Agim affirmed the judgment of the election tribunal which had dismissed the petition by the APC and its candidate.

Justice Agim held that Muftwang was qualified to contest the election because the primary election that produced him was well conducted by the National Executive Committee (NEC) of the PDP.
